Have you done your part toward the building of a truly Greater Caro lina? We venture to say that you have not done your share in the advancement of our Univer sity. Many will answer this question with another -"What can I do that will be worth while?" The answer is: "Many things, but at present the best is to organize andl push an ACTIVE county club. We want a greater Carolina, a greater stu-. dent body, more good athletes, more STUDENTS and even more campus politicians means a grea.. tter recognition from the State and consequently a greater Carolina in every sense.. YOU can do your share. Personal touch wvith the student back home. the big's school graduate, means an instilled desire to attend the greatest University in the state and the best in the south. Why? Because his or her friend is there and every so often writes a long friendly letter telling of Carolina's triump)hs, her advancement, her spirit and her student life. Don't you want a crowd of your friends here with you? Everyone dloes. And in persuading them to come you can give Carolina your great est service. Down at your old high school there is a good end, well Frankie Meyer is graduating. Per haps in two or three years this friend will be one who stirs the imagination whenever his name is mentioned. Or there is a baseball player or a ten second man or a good debater or a man or woman with newspaper talent or a girl athlete. Then, too, there is the high school studdent with a serious turn of mind. CAROLINA WANTS THEM ALL. Now as to your part. Have you a county club? What has it done except puti its picture in the Annual? Why not have some definite aim in view and render a service at the same time? It takes very little time or energy to write a let ter to some old friend back home. Or if there is no group from your county. Take thirty-minutes off some afternoon and see Burnett Stoney in the old President's home. He will help you organize a live club. WHAT ARE YOU GOING .TO DO ABOUT IT? --U.s.c. Spring Election Needed Must we always lag a few feet behind Tradi tions and customs are fine when they tend to up build a school and help it stay on top but when they tend to hold a school in check, they should be abolished. We, at the University, have a custom that keeps us back and causes undue vorry. That problem is simply this: class officers are not elected until they come back to school the next year and it is generally two months before the campus begins to function as a unit. Why can't we elect our class officers, honor committeemen, social cabinets and other officers before we leave in the spring? By that method, plans could be made during the summer months and everything would be straightened out in a short time at the beginning of the fall term. Yes, we are practically alone in this failure All the colleges in the state and all large universi ties elsewhere elect the officers and various commit tees in the spring for the next school year. It is worked' in the selection of the editors of the publications and literary societies, officers here. What are the objections? On objection might come from the idea that some of the persons elect ed for the positions would not retu&n in the fall, but very few upper-classmen do not return. Most of those who leave college give up before the first year is completed. The faculty-is heartily in favor of this plan. What do you think of it? If one has school spirit, he should be in favor of anything that tends to help, and this movement CERTAINLY WOULD. LET'S GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW I NOTHING CAN BE ACCOMPLISH ED BY WAITING. --u.s.c. BY JIMMY Alas! Poor Maud My wandering instinct led me to the Grand Canyon. There it was that I met her. She was adorable-it makes me sick at heart to think of her cruel and untimely departure. Of all my as sociates I never will find her equal again. The beauty of her figure was a dream as she stood sil houetted against the night sky. She bore me about with the heir of a large furtune who, it be men tioned at this time for convenience, has never volunteered to share it with anybody. Days passed into months and months into years. I grew fonder and fonder of that piece of femieninity the older she got. She knew her stuff, to be common. Many, many people approached her with a caressing attitude but she would have none of them. She was an isolationist with every body but me. She shadowed me from the heat of the terrific sun; she protested my feet from the jagged stones ; she appreciated my enhances and enipartuned for more; she beguiled the time by singing in clear, sweet tones so often imitated in our grand op)eras of todlay, and above all she sacri ficed her whole summer's vacation for my sole p)leasure* and benefit. What could make her more endlearing, and yet she refused to be compensated other than sustainance which I eagerly and pain stackingly gave her. The sad, tragical part of it was that she was soon, oh too soon, to go west. I didn't know it though. She was kind enough to spare me the fact until the last minute. Her whole being vibrat ed at every turn with the burdensome load that she bore. Vicissitudes troubled her not in the least. The calamity which befell her and that I shall never, no never forget what happend about 5 o'clock in the afternoon-her departure over the Great Divide. That will always be a thorn in the side of my memory; a needle to prick my con science for ever allowing her to bear such a bur den alone. We had come to a particularly steep and precipitious place in the Dare-Devil Trail. On either side of us was a solid wall of rock. Maud, 'that was her name, clung cautiously to the upper wall, her very step was measured with an accu rate eye and she never flinched. Shie misjudged once-her off pannier struck a ledge. I looked around in time to see her struggling desperately as she swiftly slid the few feet to a thousand foot plunge to death. Myeyes filled and a lump caught in my throat. She was the best pack mule I had Let's Hear Something If a demand for a definite move by student committees is considered as an effrontery, we, then, lay ourselves open to the charge when we de mand to know what is going to happen to the Junior-Senior Banquet. For years a banquet was a dreamed of event, but it was up to the class of 1925, the present sen ior class, to set a precedent last year with a ban quet in honor of the Seniors at the Jefferson Hotel. Will the Class of 1925 fail to live up to their standards? At present there has been no definite report made to the president of the class by the com mittees appointed by him, and certainly to the student body in general, there have been no plans formulated. June week is rapidly approaching and the recurring joint class meetings are handicapped by the lack of a working report. We believe that these committees have been working but we also believe that it is time they report their progress to their classmates. After the reports that are demanded for Tuesday are made the principal work yet remains. Co-opera tion wit'h the committee insures a successful banquet. Will the Class of '26 fail to do their duty? - U.S.C. - THE WEEKLY ORACLE A Smile Never Broke a Jaw-Bone By I. M. P.
